Just for the record, there is also another hyphen, called "soft hyphen", U+00AD. Main difference is that in some software it is an 'interpreted' symbol, and thus may simply disappear from the screen in such software, so it cannot be surely defined as a printable character. OTOH the benefit is that it is 100% present in any font, afaik. I have found a good technical summary about this character: http://jkorpela.fi/shy.html
